ha, no offense but you are restricting allottt of power. you are hitting the ball from far too low and really only using your arm. your racquet should start from much higher up and be cocked. you did not squat at all either. alot of your power comes from your legs. you just stepped into the shot. perhaps i being too crytical and this is just for beginners??

@AceGuitarR7 you're totally right about the leg thing though, but i have to play alot to engage the legs. my leg strength isn't there yet

Good one. When it's in my wheelhouse, I focus on getting my right shoulder under my chin at the finish. I can launch the ball if I don't get the brush up motion just right...but sometimes you gotta say wtf and go for it

[hi10spro]

@FairwayJack HELL YES< GRIP IT AND RIP IT, but you got to be there

[thebrettcoulson]

all arm sir...it seems like your muscling the ball..relax man

[rogerfederer2424]

@flatballrule Agreed. The game is way too fast to step into it every shot. Honestly, I don't ever step into the shot. I know it's supposedly easier to get power from taking it early, but I don't necessarily agree with that

Ive just gotta say that i agree with all the comments previously posted :P

Also, you rotate your body from the ground up to transfer energy... pointless turning your shoulder before your hips as the energy transfer will be down ... seems fairly straight forward to me. Must be why im studying coaching at uni :)

Lame footwork, bad technic, the ball isn't effective, too slow...

horrible footwork and no transfer through the ball. this a terrible please don't learn this forehand

[jun7446]

this is rrl terrible...... i could beat u in a tennis match anyday

[flatballrule]

hmm, interesting.. i used to teach that way "step into the shots" well, question is how often can i do that? nowadays we get high spinny balls left and right.. most of time we can't step into the shots.. I go with semi open stance when i teach because when i go close stance student try to step into every shots.. i mean returning serve too.

Did you ever hear the story that Nadal used to sit on chair and hit the ball...why? they know they can't rely on the leg power all the time. too fast in pro

@hi10spro Good effort man, but your grip contradicts your swing. To compensate, you do last moment wrist adjustments. This hurts your consistency. If you want to rotate the body as much as you do and make contact out in front, you need to either change to a semi-western or to break your wrist backwards the way Federer does. Your type of eastern with a straight wrist requires an old fashioned swing, the Mcnroe type. If you like your grip then avoid over-rotating and keep the right shoulder back.
